Australian Man Appears In Court On Murder Charge After Christchurch Attack

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardernsaid the shooter, an Australian native, had chosen to strike in New Zealand "because we represent diversity, kindness, compassion".

"We deeply mourn loss of all other innocent lives including people of Indian origin".

Brenton Tarrant, formerly of Grafton, was led into the court barefoot in a prison robe and handcuffs, and was not required to speak during his brief three-minute appearance.
